MARXIST-POSTGRUNGE

what’s that painter who does trees i don’t really like… i thought he was from ohio..

lots of ben shahn pieces with harvest work motifs not enough with planting work motifs

i guess i don’t know how else to ask this but have any of you had a partner who committed suicide and if yes can i give your number or twitter handle to my friend who that happened to also

remind me to tell you the story of me dropping my fuckass adderalls and benzos and ibuprofens and magnesiums all over the floor in the museum

atulya is having her own spiritual misery and i accidentally made her go to wicker park

teaching matias about “those are his hooves you bitch” at the de kooning show

having emotions

i need a weekend away to fix me

i need to see matias so bad because i’m having so many emotional problems i need to talk about and i need to see atulya because i’m having spiritual problems

as is often this case i’m not going to ALA but i’ll be in town for it if you happen to be in chicago for it :)

meanwhile archivist positions in yiddish collecting institutions want you to have a phd in german studies and most of the job is the most nightmare hellhole development work you can imagine or else it’s (like all museums) elementary school tours (no offense to elementary students)

explaining yiddish work like… can i catalog yiddish materials? yes, i believe absolutely i can catalog any yiddish material you give me. am i relying on the fact that you don’t have any options better than me? also yes. do you think there are no yiddish materials in your local collections? wrong, there’s probably one to ten yiddish materials. for example, pictures of street signs from 1911. i can translate that. it says kosher butcher

it’s actually like craaaasy how much i’m moving and engaging my body every second and i only noticed this because gabapentin makes the lower half of my body go to sleep and i’m like oh this is a brand new experience to me but most people experience this often. it has kind of the vibe of a toddler in a meltdown just fully zonking all at once. that’s my extremities

we had shchi, kasha varnishkes, stuffed cabbages, pickly carrots, kutya, zubrowka whipped cream, rye bread, rye vodka, chocolate rye coffee cake and kissel to mourn the 27 million people murdered during hitler’s invasion and attempted settlement of the soviet union. every leftist should be observing this every year (next year i will remember earlier so everyone can have more time to prepare)

i wanna sign up for a gis class so i can get them to put all the gis apps on my work computer so i can storymap for leisure

people who are psychologists…sad
